on the 4th day of our cruise we were scheduled for a morning kayak and snorkel adventure in antigua. and when we woke up docked in antigua, it was storming. as in lighting, thunder, heavy rain storming. we decided to cancel our shore excursion (which ended up being canceled by the tour company anyway) and wait out the storm. we had a leisurely breakfast on the ship while we waited to see what was going to happen with the weather. after a little while, the thunder and lighting had stopped so we decide to brave the weather and go out on our own. but of course as soon as we left the ship it started raining even harder.



we found a map, and a cab, and had the driver take us to a nearby beach. it rained on and off while we were at the beach, but we still enjoyed walking along the shoreline, some swimming, and had lunch.



in the end we still had a nice time in antigua (hey, even vacation in the rain is still vacation!), but were all happy when it started to clear up towards the end of the day.
